Black Ops 7 Zombies hit like a zombie apocalypse on steroids, and right now in Season 1, the weapon meta is straight fire. We're talking guns that turn round 40 swarms into confetti, melt Caleris boss crits for 46k damage pops, and keep your squad trucking through Easter Eggs without breaking a sweat. Pulled from live stats, YouTuber breakdowns, and CODMunity trackers, this top 10 ranks the most overpowered primaries by DPS charts, high-round viability, and boss-shred potential. Forget wall buys – Pack-a-Punch these bad boys to legendary, slap on augments like Dead Head and Double Tap, and watch zombies evaporate. Whether you're solo queuing Terminus or squad-deep on Astra Malorum, these loadouts got you covered. Let's countdown from 10 to that undisputed #1 – with builds, strats, and why they slap.
